Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 7

The Arahi 7 is not nearly as comfortable as the Arahi 6 which I bought from LLBean a few years ago. It is not as cushioned, material is stiff and feels tighter even though I got the same size. I wish I had returned them.

Love this shoe, it's my third pair. Great support and durable. I wear it for walking and standing on concrete for extended periods of time.

the fit was way too tight and these have been returned Terrible customer service as I have to wait 15 days for my store credit. Beyond disappointed

The soul of the shoe is starting to come apart. I'm referring to the part of the soul that touches the ground the concrete, the floor sewing and so forth I am past the 60 days now with this particular shoe so I'm kind of disappointed that it lasted less than 90 days Give or take a couple days very unhappy about this. I think I'm a great customer for Hoka.

I have had 3 pairs of Hoka Arahi's and 3 pairs of Clifton's. I have always preferred the Arahis since I have narrow feet and they don't feel as big on my feet as the Clifton's (I do still love my Clifton's- it's just a different look!). I was so excited to get a new pair of Arahi 7 my dad bought me some for my birthday. Having had 6 pairs of Hokas, always a size 7, I wore these to work today (I work in healthcare and am on my feet all day) without trying them on prior to wearing and my feet were actually HURTING by 3 hours in. The instep was so tight on my feet all day and the shoes rubbed the outer sides. These are extremely uncomfortable. I can't imagine how uncomfortable they would be for people who dont have narrow feet like I do. I'm hopeful my local sports store will accept this return after having worn these all day. I LOVE the previous Arahi hopefully they bring them back.

My feet are very picky on shoes after ankle injuries and only Arahi 6 could please my feet. Arahi 7 is totally something different and my feet were able to detect it right away. So I returned the shoes. Hopefully customer service can hear our voices and Hoka can put Arahi6 back to the market in 2025!

I am a moderate runner who's been wearing the Arahi for five years. The fit has totally changed and they are more narrow in the toe box. Disappointing! Back to the running store I go!

The arahi 6 was my go to running shoe. I've worn through 3 pairs of 6's. I bought the arahi 7 to replace my latest pair and hate them. They say that they only changed the upper on the 7, but that can't be true. I've run back to back days in my old 6's and my new 7s and they feel like totally different shoes. The 7s are stiff and seem to roll my foot in a weird way which caused an injury.

They are gorgeous and would be perfect IF then didn't run so small. I had bought another model that was similar and so comfy and thought I would invest in another pair. I didn't have a chance to try them on properly an tried wearing them and they hurt my toe so bad. Unfortunately I passed the return date. Hopefully this will help the next buyer.

Don't bother buying this. Cheap shoe and the flap in the back feels like plastic that cuts into your skin when you put it on. Not durable at all and it pinches your feet over time making them hurt even more. Worst hokas ever.

I have worn Arahi 5 and 6 for years and am so disappointed in the 7. The toe box is too narrow and liw, the sole is way too hard and the heel depth is too low. I went back to wearing my old pair and it took a few weeks for my pain to subside. I've started wearing a Brooks shoe that has softer cushioning and wider toe box. But it doesn't have quite as much support and stability as the Arahi 6. I really don't like the shape or feel of the Gaviota.
